Dr Black's interests centre on management strategies for improving the effectiveness of conservation. His work includes interfaces between science, field research, conservation interventions, psychology and change across all regions of the world (in terrestrial, marine and freshwater environments) and he supports Wildwood and its partners in key initiatives in UK conservation and rewilding. Simon’s research has given rise to both the Conservation Excellence Model (for evaluation of programme effectiveness) and the Six-Factor Model of Conservation Leadership. He has long-standing personal interest with international collaborators on the Barbary lions of North Africa. He runs popular blogs on the Barbary Lion and Conservation Leadership.
Dr Black published, as co-editor and contributor, the 2018 book Species Conservation: Lessons from Islands with Cambridge University press, a comprehensive text featuring world-class contributors which offers insight to anyone with a practical or research interest in conservation biology.
